C control 2-Track Line Outputs
The C control features three 2-track /Stereo outputs allowing you to connect the inputs of a variety of record-
ing devices such as DAT recorders, Open Reel Half-tracks, Cassette recorders or CD players/burners. The signal
that is assigned in the C controls Source section is always present at all the 2-track outputs, and is always at
full strength and not affected by the Control Room level knob. To avoid feedback loop problems, be sure to
match the 2-track outputs with the associated 2-track inputs. In other words, if you connect your DAT recorder
to the 2-track A inputs, be sure to connect 2-track A outputs to the DAT recorder’s inputs. C control provides
many inputs and outputs for connecting your gear, so there are many ways the unit can be interfaced. The
following section describes the 2-Track outputs and how they can be used with equipment commonly found
in a recording studio. There is also a “Typical Set-up” diagram on page 15 of this manual and a wiring guide on
page 17 to help you choose the correct cables for your set-up.
2-track A Outputs
The 2-Track A outputs are balanced, 1/4-inch, TRS (Tip/ Ring/ Sleeve) phone connectors which output a +4dB
line level signal. You can interface a professional DAT machine, Open Reel Half-track or CD burner here.
2-track B Outputs
The outputs labeled 2-Track B are balanced, 1/4 inch, TRS(Tip/Ring/Sleeve) connec-
tors which output +4dB line level signal. You can use these outputs to connect the
inputs of a consumer cassette or CD recorder here.
2-track C Outputs
The 2-Track C inputs are unbalanced, RCA connectors which accept -10dB line level
sources. You can use these outputs to connect the inputs of a consumer cassette or
CD recorder here.
Connecting Line Level Speaker Outputs
The C control provides three sets of line level outputs for connecting up to three pairs of studio monitors. The
Speakers outputs are selected from the front panel speaker selection switches. Speaker Outputs A and B are
switched and are typically used to switch between a pair of near-field and far or mid-field monitors. Speaker
Output C/Sub can be independently turned on or off, so it is ideal for connecting a sub woofer that you may
want to turn on for a big “hyped club” sound, but turn off for critical mixing. There is more information on
the speaker switching feature in the section “Operating C control” following later in this manual. There is also
a “Typical Set-up” diagram on page 15 of this manual and a wiring guide on page 17 to help you choose the
correct cables for your set-up.
